Guacamole isn’t my favorite dish, but people ask me to make them a batch from time to time and it is always a hit. It has a bit of a kick to it. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

4 large Haas avocados

1/2 large red onion, chopped (a white onion works well too)

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

3 Roma tomatoes, deseeded and diced

4 Serrano chili peppers, chopped

2 Jalapeno chili peppers, chopped

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

3 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 teaspoons Cayenne pepper

8 drops Tabasco sauce

zest and juice of 2 limes

2 shots tequila

1 lime wedge

Directions:

Ah, the easy part. Add peppers, bell peppers, onion, garlic in food processor. Mix until well blended. Add rest of ingredients reserving 1 shot of tequila, lime wedge and 1 teaspoon of salt. Lick the skin between your thumb and forefinger, then sprinkle salt onto the area. Using the same hand that contains the salt, hold the lime with thumb and index finger. Lick the salt, down the tequila, and bite the lime. Swish it around in your mouth for a couple of seconds and then swallow. Now mix rest of ingredients in the food processor until well blended and creamy. Serve with tortilla chips.

If there are more than one person in the kitchen, this recipe may require more tequila, salt and lime wedges.

Ceviche is one of the easiest appetizers to make. Take some seafood, throw it in some citric juices, and wait. That’s it. The acid in the citric juice actually cooks the seafood. Below, is the way I make ceviche for a party, it’s SIC.
